I'll make it a poll as well. And this is a clean thread. I don't want descriptions of porn here. I want to discuss the morality of porn.
As I mentioned last night. I have opinions on the matter. I don't want to sound hypocritical because I myself use pornography. I'll be honest and say I own about 5 movies. They are terrible movies I never watch
. They were mail order, I admit I'm too embarrassed to go into those dirty stores. And this is straight porn to make sure there is no misconception . I also have pictures on my comp (who doesn't). I don't have movies on my comp, they take up too much hard drive space and aren't easy to find for free. I also have some old magazines I never look at. I just don't have the heart to throw away good porn . All and all, I don't look at porn much. Less than 5 times a month probably.
Some porn bothers me. Mainly internet porn. Movies and mags are done well, and the women seem to be enjoying their job. But some of the hardcore stuff on the internet is disheartening. The look in some of these girls eyes is bad. It is a dead look. I'm sure you have seen it. Many of them look drugged out. I believe many of them are. I really hate that look. Very unnattractive, and I feel sorry for them. What conditions are these women forced or coerced to endure? Sure this is the western world, these women are able to make their own choices. But it still bothers me just the same.
I'm not saying hardcore internet porn should be illegal. And you could always say I don't have to look at it. But I like it. I just hate to think of the conditions and circumstances of some of these girls. While most porn is done under good conditions, I have to accept the fact that a significant part is not. The loss of dignity these girls go through is significant. Granted you can argue about the loss of dignity working in some fast food restaurant. but you really can't compare the two.
discuss.

, I could sit behind the front counter and read to my heart's content. And what that job taught me (among many other things) was that the kind of porn you're calling "Internet porn" was out there in abundance long before the Internet. The difference is that the casual user would never encounter it, because it would never be sold in your local convenience store; you had to go looking for it, generally in a seedy building on th wrong side of the tracks with a big "Perverts Enter Here" sign out front. With the Internet, though, it's actually easier to come across glassy-eyed degradation than Playboy or even Hustler style porn, because the latter is more expensive to produce and thus less likely to be given away free. The Internet hasn't introduced new porn, but it has turned the social logic of porn on its head -- probably because real spaces can have zoning ordinances, but cyberspace can't. Just a thought.
You dont think?
